We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.

Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.
If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations.

ABOUT ME!: Chip came to us as a stray from Cayuga County when he was just 5 months old. He was found wandering the streets and no one claimed him. He spent some time at animal control waiting but his family never came. Chip was transferred to us to find a new family who will never abandon him again. Chip is just a puppy and eager to learn and please. He is very nervous when meeting most new people. He warms up quicker with another dog around, lots of yummy treats(I love cheese!!), patience and letting him come to you. He is not in any way aggressive, would never bite etc, he is just very shy in new situations and wants to hide from new people.
He is looking for a confident dog experienced owner to help him get through this. He works with our trainer daily and has made great strides gaining confidence! He will need to continue with positive reinforcement training as negative would set him completely back in all that he has learned. He should never wear an ecollar or prong collar. He walks wonderfully on a harness, keeps a very clean kennel with no accidents. He LOVES to play fetch! His favorite thing is chasing a ball, getting endless love and cuddles from those he knows, jumping in the pools, and loves chewing on his nylabones!
Chip is a very sweet boy looking for a family to give him a chance.
I am neutered, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!

ABOUT ME!: El is a beautiful Pitbull mix pup who came to us with her 7 siblings and their mom after being an unwanted litter. Mom was picked up as a stray roaming the streets locally and gave birth a few days after arriving at animal control. When her stray hold was up and no one came to claim her she and her babies were brought to us. The litter is now 13 weeks old and ready to find their perfect families. Vet reference is required to adopt a puppy. They will need to finish their important series of puppy vaccines and a current vet is needed to ensure this is carried out. Adopter will be responsible for spay and neuter once the puppy has reached the appropriate age. Please keep in mind we are unsure of what their dad was so we have no idea how big they will grow to be. Their mom was 45 pounds, but we have no way of guessing their size when full grown. They are looking for responsible homes who understand all the work that goes into training a puppy and the time and attention they need daily. El has had all of her vaccines, is microchipped, dewormed, and current on parasite preventions!

ABOUT ME!: Adorable little Monty is the saddest boy right now. He lost his home through absolutely no fault of his own. His family was going through a hard time and needed to move where Monty could not go. Monty just turned one year old and is just a baby. He has never been away from home or kenneled so he quite nervous right now. He is shy when new people come into meet him but he warms up within seconds and is glued to you if you have yummy treats to hand over, especially cheese!
He loves coming to doggy daycare and making new friends during the day. He lived with a dachshund prior along with kids ages 2 through 18. Monty would love to go to a home where someone works from home or is home often. He bonds very quickly to his people and wants them close by! Monty is housebroken and crate trained. He should be crated when home alone as he is still a chewing puppy. He requires home that will give him lots of daily exercise and walks. He is definitely a busy boy who wants to run and play.

IS A FENCED YARD REQUIRED: No
ABOUT ME!: My name is PJ, but you can just call me MR. Personality! I am absolutely loving my time at the rescue and making so many new friends human and canine! I would really like to find a home of my very own though!
One of my absolute favorite things to do is play fetch!
I now have caught on to the fact that they like for me to sit down before they throw the ball, or sometimes just to sit, and maybe I'll get a treat when I do. I'm only 1 year old, so I have lots of years to keep learning new things, and by the time I'm an old guy, I'm thinking I should be pretty much a dog genius. The only thing I don't have going for me is that I am not fluffy, and I'm not light in color and I'm not a purebred anything. I'm hoping that will not count against me. I'm still a great dog, maybe even one of the best. I am housebroken and keep a very clean kennel here! I have a big soft bed that I never chew up and love to have! I was a bit underweight when I was found but I am working on filling out thanks to the yummy food and enrichment I receive here!
If you are looking for a dog who is willing to light up your life, enjoys the heck out of playing and making you smile, is young, GREAT with other dogs, male and female, would LOVE to go on hikes, car rides, have someone throw the ball for him outside, dog park, then come inside and be your best TV bud, couch cuddler, whatever you want him to be - it could be PJ if you are lucky enough to be this boys person! If you like waking up to a happy face with tongue hanging out, if you like sloppy kisses and being told in doggie language that you are the greatest person in the whole world, PJ is your man!
PJ is neutered, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!
